If in science, heat is symbolized by Q, in my own definition, heat would mean the entire day the sun is up! I know it is a blessing to have sunlight and surely, we need sunlight but I am not talking about that here. I am talking about the heat we experience.
Talk about intense heat, I was driving down the road earlier this day and saw people walking and I thought to myself that, I am lucky to be driving a car while some others commute and bake in the noon time sun.
Before, you can cook eggs on top of your roof. Now, you can cook your well-done steak on it. I never felt this intense heat before. Whether or not this is the doings of global warming, please be aware of what you are contributing to our environment. Do all the possible necessary things to do to avoid damaging the earth further before we all burn alive here.
